Bill C-60 targeted only the act of circumventing copy-protections for the explicit purpose of infringing copyright, while the DMCA targets the makers and distributors of devices using circumvention techniques and bans all forms of circumvention without regard to intention. The latter is seen to be more stifling for technological innovation. Secondly, in the area of the Internet, Bill C-60 sought to impose a system of notice-and-notice for network service providers. In contrast, the DMCA prescribes a system of notice-and-takedown in order for network service providers to be exempt from infringement liability.

The Cougars, representing CUSA West, traveled to Greenville, North Carolina for the Conference USA Championship against defending champion East Carolina. ECU employed the same strategy used by conference mates UTEP and UCF in their upsets of the Cougars - run the football often and grind the clock. Alongside that, the ECU run defense stopped the Cougar running game completely cold (only 30 yards total rushing), leaving Houston to rely on the skills of Case Keenum to carry them through. The Cougar passing game did have success for a while as Houston led at halftime 19-14, but the Pirate defense became more and more stifling as the day wore on, finally Keenum threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter which after translating to two ECU rushing touchdowns put the game out of reach.

Such a standard would "exclude much of the great works of literature" and be impracticable, and the court therefore held that the "proper test of whether a given book is obscene is its dominant effect". Judge Hand concluded the majority opinion with a historical perspective of the harms of overzealous censorship: > Art certainly cannot advance under compulsion to traditional forms, and > nothing in such a field is more stifling to progress than limitation of the > right to experiment with a new technique. The foolish judgments of Lord > Eldon about one hundred years ago, proscribing the works of Byron and > Southey, and the finding by the jury under a charge by Lord Denman that the > publication of Shelley's Queen Mab was an indictable offense are a warning > to all who have to determine the limits of the field within which authors > may exercise themselves. We think that Ulysses is a book of originality and > sincerity of treatment and that it has not the effect of promoting lust.
